The catalogue in 3D
The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Le Château hanté, released in the United States as The Devil's Castle and in Britain as The Haunted Castle, is an 1897 French silent trick film directed by Georges Méliès. It is a remake of a previous film by Méliès, The House of the Devil (Le Manoir du diable, 1896). The 1896 original, which was released in the United States as The Haunted Castle and in Britain as The Devil's Castle, is sometimes confused for the 1897 version. It was the first movie remake. The 45-second Le Château hanté is about a man who enters a haunted castle and is constantly taunted by spirits within. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
